DFS Group celebrated the 200th year milestone anniversary of Hennessy V.S.O.P by offering a special limited-edition carafe to consumers at Singapore Changi Airport.

The dedicated gift-box, which acknowledges the brand’s long-standing heritage was exclusively available at the airport from 1 July to 31 July.

Travellers departing from Singapore Changi had the opportunity to immerse themselves in the history of V.S.O.P through an activation experience and the chance to win exclusive gifts.

The activation featured dedicated bar spaces and cocktail carts at DFS stores in Terminal 1 and Terminal 4. Travellers enjoyed a complimentary cocktail tasting crafted especially for Hennessy V.S.O.P’s anniversary and took home recipes to recreate ‘Hennessy’s Mint Julep with a twist’.

LIMITED-EDITION BOX

The limited-edition gift-box pays homage to Hennessy’s history dating back to the mid-19th Century. The original cognac bottle, known as the ‘charentaise’, has been architecturally reimagined into a slope-shouldered charentaise with the words excerpted from the original order for a ‘Very Superior Old’ cognac.

Moët Hennessy Managing Director Travel Retail Asia Pacific, Vanessa Widmann commented: “We are very excited to celebrate this special anniversary with DFS and to partner with DFS Group and Singapore Changi Airport on the launch of the 200 Year Anniversary Edition pack. The exquisite pack makes for the perfect gift for all travellers, V.S.O.P lovers and cognac connoisseurs.”
